HARD WHEAT AHEAD.
President Payne is Confident that
American Wheat Producers Will
Hold Their Own i'll the
Worlds Markets.

Mr.. Payne, president of the Bank of
Dakota estate. He will return there soon
and then will come back to remain here
most of the winter Mr.. Payne is an in
telligent observer of markets, freights and
business interests in general. He is as
firm believer as ever in the advancement
of Great Falls. He says:
"Coal. iron and water-power combined,
have never failed to establish a large city,
and will not fail here
Regarding the Indian wheat question
which now occupies much attention, Mr..
Payne said: -~....... .-..........
az am convinced that Indian wheat can
never supercede the hard wheat of Dako-
ia, Minnesota and Montana. The long,
expensive voyage from Calcutta, the Snez
canal dues and the dock charges, added to
the freight to the seaboard, increase SO
much the cost of the Indian wheat in the
British markets that we can compete sue
cessfully with it, taking quality into ac-
count. If | had 10000 or $4,000 bushels
of wheat to export, believe that could
get..from IS to 80 cents per bushel for it
In Dakota, on condition that would de-
liver it free in England. Of course, it
wouldn't pay to handle smaller quantity
In that way, but at present the freight to
the seahoard by way of Duluth is reason
able and enables lis to compete with In
can never equal in quality cur hard wheat,
which is the best in the world. Wheat
requires warm days and cool nights, but
in India it is hot all the time. Scme of
the first specimens of Indian wheat shown
In London, were very poor and no better
than what we would give to chickens. Be-
sides our yield is greater. In India, the
yield is from 10 to II bushels to the acre
on dry land and from II to % on irrigat-
ell, Scotch farmers near me raised 81
bushels to the acre, and / raised myself
"a, having suffered somewhat from hail
stornis."
Mr. Payne says that he would like to
sell some wheat to the Cataract mill here,
and will see if the freight rates will ena-
BILE him to do SO with mutual advantage
to himself and the millers. He looks for
ward to an era of rapid development in
Dakota and Montana when the Saint
Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba railroad
system is so extended as to provide short
route to Duluth, whence steamers con-
trolleG by the same company will convey
it to Buffalo. He looks for extensive mi
grafton toward this region the coming
spring.

A Desperate Fight.

Fort SMITH, Arkansas, November 90
Deputy marshals Frank Dalton and j. r..
Cole crossed the river into the Cherokee
nation this morning to arrest a horsethief
and whiskey peddler named Smith. Ar
irving at the tent where he was, Cole rode
up on one side and Dalton on the other.
Seeing a man at the door of the tent, Dal-
ton inquired for Smith, who rushed out
pistol in hand, and fired, shooting Dalton
in the left breast, intlicting a mortal
wound. Cole shot Smith as he turned to
re-enter the tent. Then a woman ran out
with child in her arms and a man nam
ed DiSen followed her. Dixon fired at
Cole twice, wounding him in the right
breast. Cole shot Dixon in the shoulder,
then backed to a tree and regular fight
followed in which the wife of Dixon was
accidentally killed. Two bullets were
put throught Coles coat and the bark was
peeled off the tree behind which he was
sheltered. Finding chance to escape.
Cole hurried away on foot, his horse nav
ing ran off during the fight When he had
gone a short distance man named Low
cry came out or the tent and approached
Dalton, who was badly wounded, and
needless of his piteous appeals for life,
fired two bullets into his head, causing in
stant death. Smith died from his wounds
this afternoon. Dixon is now in the Unit
ed State hospital. LoWery is still at large
but will probably be caught as all of the
marsAal's force are in pursuit.

PALACE STOCK CARS.
Montana Stockmen Will First Try
the Experiment of Shipping in
These Popular Cars From
the Ranges.

1t is almost definitely settled that the
Street stable Car is the stock Car of the fu-
ture, the one that will come into general
use Tor that purpose throughout the coui-
try. This season a number of our range
men used these cars from Saint Paul to
Chicago, and were so we'll pleased that
some of those who had later shipments
decided to use stable cars to take their
beef all the way through from Montana.
The Miner Livestock Company of the
Shonkin range was the first to act in the
matter, and the ConradPrice company OF
the same range united with them. Ac-
cordingly these companies ordered % cars
each for their second shipment, and the
cars are now supposed to be at Benton
awaiting their convenience. The beef
round ap was completed few days ago,
the cattle being held on this side of the
river near Pablois' Island. Thus, the
Miner Livestock comr any and Conrad
Price company of northern Montana, will
be entitled to the distinction of having
shipped the first cattle from the range
country to market in palace cars.
The Street stable car is a great improve.
ment on the kind in ordinary use. 1t Is
divided into compartments, each of which
will hold six or seven head of cattle, and
these are provided with racks for hay and
with water troughs, SO that the cattle can
constantly be provided with provinder and
when needed, water can be supplied
them from any of the tanks along the
line. There Is no occasion for unloading
and the cattle so into market in as good
condition as when they started. Commits
sion men and purchasers admit that cat
tie shipped in this way readily bring one.
fourth of a cent more per pound by reason
of their improved condition.
The Manitoba is entitled to the distinc-
ton of being the only western road to in
troduce these cars, fully meeting the
wishes OF the stockmen in this matter as
in all others.

NEIHART NEWS.
The Snow Creek Bonanzas Looming
Up-Predieting Wonderful Things
for the Camp-Great Falls
the Supply Point.

| Richard Brennan, Alex Yule AMI
others arrived in the city last evening
| from Neihart, and today will return tt
that camp, carrying with them good i'm
pressions OF Great Falls.
| Our reporter had talk with Mr.. Bren
| nan in regard to the great silver camp o.
the Little Belt mountains, and found hin
as enthusiastic as ever. He says the de
velopment of this season goes farther to
prove the worth of the variousgrnines oi
the district and that in addition some very
important, not to say wonderful, strikes
have been made.
The Snow creek properties are at pres
ent attracting greater attention than any
other portion of the district and for the
very good reason that some remarkable
leads have been opened up there. Gus
Okerman and others have recently opened
lead that is over 40 feet in width
with good pay ore throughout. No assays
of less than so ounces have been secured.
and some OF them run away up in the
thousand. This mammoth find is now the
talk of the camp and is regarded as one
of the largest and most valuable lodes in
Montana. The character of the ore on the
surface is free milling, but as depth is at
tanned it is likely to become free smelling,
as In the case of other leads in the same
locality that have been more extensively
developed
The other properties on Snow creek
are also showing up finely with develop
ment, particularly the Ripple, which IS a
large lead carrying high grade ore. This
mine is well developed and is considered
of great value. Three of our Great Falls
citizens are interested in a group of
mines on Snow creek that are showing up
we'll and on account of their advantageous
location promise to be worth great deal
of money.
Mr.. Brennan tells Us that the cit;zens Of
Neiliart now regard Great Falls as their
supply point, and are anxiously looking
forward to the branch of tue Montana
Central, which will be built from this
point. They are confident it will come
next year, and the Tribune can assure
them they will not be disappointed. A
railroad to Neihart is an assurance that
that camp will he one of the best in the
mountains. As one OF the gentlemen of the
party said: THE United States leads the
world for mineral, Montana leads the
United States and Neihirt leads Montana" :"
He qualified by saying this will be the
situation in few years.

PECk's PUNISHMENT.
Current Opinion on the Desert Land
ControVersy-No Sympathy for
the Belt Mud ThrOWer.

/ The Tribune was in more eager demant
than usual last evening when it became
| known that ii letter therein had taken th.
| hide off Peck of the Wool Grower Th,
stranger within our gates was as anXiou:
| us the regular subscriber TO read the vigo
rous defence of Great Falls contained
ia the star letter. The public have be
come quite interested in Peck and his
ranch and people are likely to swarm there
the coming spring despite his assertion
that this is an arid region which should be
parcelIed out into sections of $40 acres, te
which spectators might hold until con
venient time. 1t is argued that the land
about Belt Creek must be as good as it is
here where property is held at good prices
after its merits have been fully tested.
In regard to his attack on Great Falls
the opinion was expressed that Peck is en-
titled to walk right up and take his place
beside Ford and others who viciously OPP
posed the interests Of this city and got
badly left, Great Fails Is too robust and
too busy to mind Peck's sneers, and the
people generally regard it as poor busi-
ness for Montana editor to decry the
growth of Montana town which is asso-
ciated with the completion of great
trunk line that is benefiting the whole ter
ritory. The public were pleased, how
ever, that such splendid array of accom-
plished facts was cited to refute the sneer
that nothing had been done here, and that
everything was to come. Henceforth no
one with any respect for truth will dare to
say that any promise made By the found
ars Of Great Falls Is deceitful.
Satisfaction was expressed also at the
clear showing that the country here ispro-
ductive without irrigation and that far.
mers who have taken up claims are not
the blank fools that Peck would make
them out to be. The law gave the. land
commissioner power to define the desert
lands. His definition exempts such lands
as those of Cascade county. Mr.. Gums
report clinches that decision because it is
based on patent facts. Mr.. Steckslager's s
instructions follow in due order and leave
the land grabbers hopeless and forlorn
with no option save that of American cit
izens who are compelled to put up with a
quarter section. The wall of the Wool
Grower will not be needed at Washington.
1t is the common opinion that the chal-
lenge to test the productiveness of Montana
bench land near Peck's range, puts him in
a corner where he must put up or shut up.
The offer was not needed to prove the
assertion to the public satisfaction but it
aeeords with the plucky Moutanian spirit
which expects that man will back with
money what he believes.

Women at the Polls.

Faulkton, Dakota, special: Faulk
county is new county and has had few
striking events in her brief history. But
election day was a ''red letter" day for
her. The ladies of the W. c. T. I. had
possession of the county, being represent
ed at every precinct, and many were the
novel sights produced by their presence.
Their favorite plan of action seemed to be
to mass themselves near the polls and ex-
ert their combined influence upon anyone
who was suspected of not being in accord
with them. Besides the personal influence
which they sought to exert, they had pro-
vided at each polling place sandwiches
and coffee, which were dealt out along
with their solicitations for tshome" against
the ssaloon." In Orient precinct, they
gained an entrance into one of the saloons
the day before, during the absence of the
proprietor, who had gone off for supply
of goods for election day, and when he re-
turned, ON the morning of election day,
found the ladies in peaceable possession
of his premises, with their tables all set
to furnish refreshments. He gallantly ae-
cepted the situation, and occupied cor
ner behind the stove for the greater part
Of the day. Late in the day two promi-
nent members of the ssaaion," conceived
the idea of visiting the saloons to see if
any whom they had that day decorated
with the "white ribbon had proven recre-
ant to their professions. OF course they
became at once the center Of interest. All
games of billiards OF of cards were sus-
pended, and the spectators gazed in open
eyed establishment at the unheard-of spec
tacle of ladies in saloon. The bartender
first approached them and asked ii they
were looking for anyone sOh no.. they
cody replied, 1--WE just stepped in for a
few moments to see what was going on. =
The proprietor approached them and told
them sthey got no peesness in his blace Of
peesness, and If they want to know vat vas
going ON they better send in some boleec-
mens.' s'Oh no" they replied, I've can
see all we wish ourselves, and as it is q
public house we see no harm in coming
